Ready...Set....Go

We wait in hopeful anticipation for Kate's Baby Brother.  Since the big event is planned to take place tomorrow, we thought it would be best to move Kate's 4th Birthday Party to April.  I (mistakenly?) thought it would be best to throw a BUG BASH for 20 preschoolers at 37 weeks pregnant, less than a week before my induction,  rather than while juggling a newborn.  it turned out a success as I know Kate had a blast, and it seemed that her friends did too....  Here are some highlights...

This past weekend we took Kate to an Easter Egg "hunt". She had a great time, but it wasn't much of a hunt. It was a baseball field covered with plastic eggs. The kids just stood behind the tape and when the bunny counted down, they took off collecting the eggs. The thing that amazed us was that it took under 5 minutes for the children to rid the field of Easter eggs. Here are some of the highlights...
